My Skincare Routine

When it comes to skincare I am CLUELESS. One thing I do know is that my skin is quite sensitive so I have to be careful what I put on it.
After many disaturous attempts to do something with my skin (resulting in dry patches or allergic reactions) I hopped on over to Clinique, famous for dealing with all skin types, to see what they had to offer.



This is how everything is stored in my bathroom. Everything is very accessible.

This is the routine I use morning and night. The only differance is that in the morning I miss out step 1.

STEP 1

So firstly I have to remove my makeup.
I use The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make Up Remover to take off my eye make up. This removes make up easily without having to tug (remember to shake it before you pour onto a cotton wool pad).
Then I use the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk to remove the rest of my makeup. I massage this into my skin and wash it off with a wet flannel or muslin cloth. I'm not sure how I feel about this product, it works fine to remove my face make up, but it burns if you get it anywhere near my eyes! Awch.

STEP 2

These are the Clinique 3 Step products that were suggested for me.
Firstly I cleanse my skin using the Liquid Facial Soap.

Secondly I exfoliate, using the Clarifying Lotion 1.

Lastly, I moisturise using the dramatically different moistiurizing lotion +

I am currently roadtesting the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo. An anti-blemish Cream that everybody raves about. So far I'm quite happy with this product, I use this along with my other moisturiser. Focusing on the pores on my nose and cheeks.

I think the Clinique products work great with my skin, and I will continue to use them. My skin feels great at the moment, I am loving the results.

Confession time: I am extremely lazy when it comes to skincare so when I'm lying in bed and can't be bothered to make my way into the bathroom... face wipes come to the rescue. I use the Simple Kind to Skin Facial Wipes.

lots of love
